Check this out FBE 5th grade families!

Save the date for LEAD, an evening designed for parents and students in grades 5-10 to explore opportunities, connect with resources, and learn more about our community.

Join us on Thursday, November 19, from 5:00 to 8:00pm at the Christiansburg Recreation Center.

LEAD stands for Learn, Earn, Answer the Call, and Discover our Community, and the event will bring each part of that framework to life through engaging experiences and information for students and families.
